Hey Andi - Thanks.  I do hear that. I was thinking more alone the lines of the expressive articulation from the Elite Strings. I now know that they are different.

Patrick

Hi - I recently purchased the Synchronized Vienna Choir. In working through the articulations I am having difficulty understanding what the Espressivo articulation is. I have loaded the 03 Velocity/16 Sopranos/Legato/Normal. When I move between Normal and  Espressivo, I cannot seem to hear any discernable difference. 

What am I missing?

Thanks

Patrick

Hi - 

Did you..

1. Download and install the iLOK version of the Elite Strings?

2. Download and install the iLOK version of the Synchron Player?

It's not just you. I purchased the D-274 standard and feel the same regarding your comment on difficulty playing softer passages because the sound, even for softer playing, still has a somewhat 'bright' attack. I have tried playing with mics but can't seem to find the right combination. 

Will keep trying but sorry I have not suggestions to offer

Patrick

Hi - Thanks to everyone providing presets. I am new to the pianos. One question do have is where do I find the preset folder?

Thanks

Patrick

Hi - I just cleared my browser history, restarted the browser and the correct, discounted price now appears.

Thanks

Patrick

Hi - I had the same issue and VSL support suggested that I clear my browser history and I just did and the discounted price now shows correctly.

Patrick

Hi - I have a similar situation. ( I think.)

 Over past two days, I have purchased the Synchronized Flute and Oboe Ens at 'My Price' of 50 Euros instead of the regular price of 85 Euros. I assume that the reason for the discount is that I own the non-Synchronized version of theses ensembles. I just went to upgrade to the Synchronized Clarinet Ensemble but 'My Price' is now back up to 85 Euros even though, as with the Flute and Oboes, I own the non-Synchronized version of the Clarinets. I was expecting the price to by 50 Euros. I have made a post in this discussion but no one has yet to respond.

Hi - I started thinking that the behavior was such that the SSD was transferring data faster that the 'pipe' or the CPU or the Player could handle. I know that my computer has two USB 3 and three USB 2 ports. So I took the SSD and plugged it into one of the USB 2 ports. I loaded Andromeda and noticed that it was loading at a bit slower rate; not considerable but still noticeable. Once loaded, I could play the instrument without issue,

Hi - I was wondering what causes the CPU to peak and cut a sustained note off using the Synchron Player?

Thanks

Hi - I have one internal SSD and one external SSD. I have various VSL instruments on each, primarily, because one drive is new and some samples have issues streaming on the new drive. I tried a test by loading and running BBO Andromeda from the two drives and changing the database settings in the Synchron player when needed.

(D:) Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB SATA NTFS

(I:)  Samsung Portable SSD 1TB USB NVMe NTFS  (New drive)

The Andromeda samples load very fast from both drives. However, when testing the (I:) drive, most played long notes choke and stutter after a few seconds and the CPU monitor shows a spike. The (D:) test does not exhibit any of that behavior and all samples play perfectly. 

The VSL libraries are not the only ones that have this issues. Other company libraries show the same. 

I did not change any sound card settings for either test and they remain:

ASIO - Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO 512 Samples @44,100Hz

I do not know what to look for next.

Thanks

Patrick

Hi Paul - As always, you are correct. 

I did not realize that were taking the light samples from the D-274 provided with the Special Edition. I thought the light samples came with the Standard Edition download of the piano. 

I did purchase a new SSD and had moved the Syncro Special Edition folder but did not update the DB.

Everything works fine

Thanks again 

Patrick

Hi - I cannot seem to get the 'light' version of the Steinway D-274 to load any samples. The non-light version loads and plays fine but when I select the 'light' box at the top of the screen, the interface changes to but 0 samples are loaded.

Thanks

Patrick

HI - How do I make a demo license permanent without having to download the library again. I know I need to make a purchase but how do I apply the new activation code.

Thanks

Patrick

Hi - I just added Xenia to complement Tana, Vega, and Wallia. I loaded them into a VST player (Cantabile) so that I could play as one string orchestra. What I have found is that the key switches for Wallia are within the range of the first violins. This causes me to key switch (when I do not want) the basses' articulation. How can I change the assigned key switch for the basses so as to avoid this.

Thanks

Patrick

Hi Ben - Sorry - My fault. I downloaded the wrong file. It has been successfully installed.

Patrick

Is the Free Vienna Ensemble still available. If so, how do I get it?

Thanks

Patrick

I would like to see a layered orchestra where short articulations draw in additional instruments depending upon how you hard strike the keys and where you are in the range on the keyboard. For long articulations, the same would occur via either the mod wheel or an expression pedal and where you are in the range on the keyboard. 

Do you know what this means?

Formatted as NTFS but the problem is the same.

OK Thanks - Trying now.

Hi - I just purchased a new Portable SSD - Samsung T5. There was virtually no set-up except asking me to password protect the drive which I chose not to do. I copied the BBO - Wallia folder from an external harddrive to the new SSD and the copy looks like it worked. However, although the samples loaded very fast, when I play notes they cutoff or not sound at all. I set the preload to as high as possible and it loads more samples but the issues still remains. As well, the little icon turns red whenever an issue occurs with the samples.

Sounds amazing!

And btw.. You have one more chance - BBO Zeus - Cowbell 

Good thing you didn't use the Khmer alphabet 

COWBELL!!!!
